On behalf of the Western Kentucky University Student Veterans' Alliance, I am honored
to welcome you into our organization. I would like to also thank you for your service
and sacrifice to our beloved country. The individuals that are affiliated with the
United States military are as broad as the country it represents. Be proud of your
service! Current military, veterans, and their families all served in different ways,
and have all sacrificed on different levels. I salute all those who wear the uniform
– currently, or on their hearts.

It is my great privilege to serve you as the WKU SVA President. We have a robust and
exciting future ahead for our chapter. Your time pursuing higher education is more
than a simple scholarship endeavor; it's an opportunity for enriching experiences
that will provide you a pathway of success, and an avenue to make a positive and significant
impact on the campus, and community.

As a member of the WKU SVA, you have a voice. Partnering with our parent organization,
Student Veterans of America, we will do our best to address policy and political issues
that are specific to the needs of our community.

The Mission:To provide military veterans with the resources, support, and advocacy needed to succeed
in higher education and following graduation.

The potential you hold is limitless. We are here to introduce you to your possibilities.
With over twenty corporate sponsors that have made a commitment to connect to SVA,
chapters can provide enhanced employment opportunities for our community.You can see for yourself at our Annual National Conference and Leadership Summits.

The Vision:All veterans will succeed in higher education, achieve their academic goals, and gain
meaningful employment.

Your legacy on campus starts here. Many military and veterans face challenges as they
pursue higher education. It is my intent that we face these challenges together!

"The day the soldiers stop bringing you their problems is the day you stopped leading
them. They have either lost confidence that you can help them or concluded that you
do not care. Either case is a failure of leadership."
